Secretly

1993. Winter. Now this 1958 popular song comes to my mind as describing gay relationships.

Why must I meet you in a secret rendezvous?
Why must we steal away to steal a kiss or two?
Why must we wait to do the things we want to do?

Why, oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why?

Wish we didn’t have to meet secretly,
Wish we didn’t have to kiss secretly,
Wish we didn’t have to be afraid to show the world that we’re in love.

Till we have the right to meet openly,
Till we have the right to kiss openly,
We’ll just have to be content to be in love secretly.

Why, oh why, oh why, oh why, oh why?

Wish we didn’t have to meet secretly,
Wish we didn’t have to kiss secretly,
Wish we didn’t have to be afraid to show the world that we’re in love.

Till we have the right to meet openly,
Till we have the right to kiss openly,
We’ll just have to be content to be in love secretly.
